Excellent car for those who enjoy driving pleasure

I purchased this car as a second thought after initial decision on i20. Reason- first it is 1.5 L cheaper, second the space and especially the rear seat space. Incidentally I had taken test drive of i20 first and gone for it but then after test drive of Getz prime, I changed my mind.

Excellent handling especially on highways and on long drives. In city may not handle like a Swift but overall quality of gear shift, smoothness of engine is way above Swift. I have driven Swift which is owner driven which is almost of the same age as my Getz Prime but I can hear lots of rattle from all corners of the Swift. But not in Getz. Very sturdy feel. Though the initial pick up is not as peppy like Maruti cars, it is compensated by the sustained drive once you reach higher gear and speed.

I drive over Eastern Express Highway in Mumbai which has recently been punctuated with patches of retarders by MMRDA out of a stupid decision. But by Getz sails smoothly over them!!!

Only issue could be slightly lower fuel economy over competitors but I am happy with 12.5kmpl I am getting in City and about 14.5 kmpl on highways with AC ON ALL THE TIMES. I feel it is best combination of comfort and economy in a car of its class.

I am extremely happy with my decision and I would highly recommend it over Swift, Indica Vista, Fiat Palio or even Fabia which I was considering initially.
